Of all the contributions that the United States has made to world cuisine, my favourite has to be hot wings. Of course they're also referred to as Buffalo Wings, depending upon which sauce/cooking method you use.
Apparently, Jessica Simpson (who I've since discovered is not the sister of Homer Simpson, but in fact a real life famous person (albeit she's about as 2-dimensional, and about as dumb as Homer though)) was somewhat confused (or possibly just plain dumb as a bag of rocks) when offered buffalo wings. She's reported to have responded, "I don't eat buffalo".
Anyway, my point is, this week, whilst barbecuing, I ended up doing my own hot wings. I had a good hot wings sauce, and in no time at all was producing my own hot wings.
If I can find a butcher that can deliver, I may never leave the house, or at least garden, again.
Posted by Max at June 07, 2004 12:36 AM | TrackbackFrom its very beginnings, the United States has been a nation of immigrants. Large groups of people decided to make America their home for many different reasons. Political, religious, military and economic factors have played significant roles in America’s immigration history.
In this activity, we will look at the numbers of people immigrating to the United States over the past 200 years. Relating these numbers to historical events at the time can help us uncover the stories of the peoples who have come together to build our nation and define our culture. Somewhere in the midst of these numbers are tales of war, famine, persecution, greed, exploration, hope, courage, innovation and the desire to make a nation with basic freedoms for everyone.
